Lighthouses of Central Nova Scotia

Nova Scotia has the largest number of lights in Canada, and some of the oldest, including Sambro, the oldest operating lighthouse in North America.

The Nova Scotia Lighthouse Preservation Society (NSLPS) was founded in 1993 by lighthouse enthusiasts while on a visit to Sambro Island. The Sambro Island Lighthouse (1758) is the oldest working lighthouse in North America. They were concerned about the condition of the lighthouse and the keeper's houses. They set up the non-profit society to benefit all the 150 lighthouses in Nova Scotia. For more information on NSLPS and the work they are doing, visit them online at www.nslps.com
